OBITUARY.

Death of Mrs. Nellie @. Francis.
A large circle of friends will mourn the
death of Mrs. Nellie G. Francis, which took
place early last evening at her house, No. Al
Elm street. The deceased was taken i'll five
days before with pleurisy and pneumonia, and
the most devoted care from friends who deeply
loved her and appreciated her worth and
the most skillful medical attendants were
alike unavailing to arrest the approach of the
dread messenger. She will be deeply missed
and mourned, and her sudden death comes as
shock to very many friends to whom she
was endeared by her uDfailing cheerfulness,
unselfshness and devotion to others, and her
innate worth Of character She was beloved
by all. She bore her sufferings with beauti-
full Christian patience, resignation and the
tenderness for others of a generous nature,
and her memory will long be lovingly cher
ished. She leaves one child, daughter,
seven years old, whose grief at the loss of
her mother was deeply affecting. The de-
ceased leaves father, Mr.. Joseph Hall of
this city, formerly of Woodbridge, and three
sisters, Mrs. z. L. Huxford Of A Elm street,
Mrs. william FL. Merwin of Edwards street,
and Mrs. John J. Hart of Huntsville, Mass.
Deceased was member of st. Pauls church
for years past. He age was thirty-eight.
The funeral will take place on Thursday at
2 p. m. from her late residence.

Genial Ex.Cenductor FrankIin's Sad
Condition

Ex-Conductor Zelos G. Franklin was on
Sunday taken to the Insane retreat at Mid
dletown, the Shore Line express from New
York stopping at Milford for him. After re-
signing from the road he was engaged in oys-
ter culture at Milford. He is brother of
Joseph H. Franklin, superintendent of
the Air Line road, and at present station
master in New York. Another brother, De-
los, is an engineer on the Consolidated. Mr..
Franklin is the second Of the old time con-
ductors to become insane within year.
Amos Herkins died six months ago of brain
trouble. Mr.. Franklin's mental infirmity is
the result of striking his head against one of
the timbers of the old wooden drawbridge at
Westport, while on his train about fifteen
years ago. The injury was followed by
shooting pains in the head and a general
impairment of the nervous system, which
gradually grew worse until five years ago his
condition became such that he resigned his
position on the road. Since then he has
been carrying on a store in Milford. His
nervous troubles recently reached a stage
which made Mr.. Franklin a fit subject for
an insane retreat. He has host of friends
who will learn of his affection with deep re-
gret.

Proceedings In the Court at Bridge

BRIDGEPORT, April 25.-Haying received q
full and certified copy of the recent decision
of the New York Court of Appeals, Attorney
Chamberlain presented his application before
Judge Beardsley in the Superior court at
Bridgeport, this afternoon, for the release
from Jail of Nathaniel Sands. Lawyers Mil
Ter of New York, and Townsend of New Ha-
ven, opposed the motion. They explained
that of the $15,0OO,OOO loan placed by Mr..
Sands, some Sc, 900 was for the city, and
the remainder for the county of New York.
Although since consolidated they then had
different fiscal systems. Mr.. Miller said that
while the Court of Appeals decision over
throws the Judgment obtained against Mr..
Sands by the county, there still remained
ground for suit to recover the amount of
commissions paid him in connection with the
refundIng of the city loan. 1t was the inten-
ton of the city of Bridgeport to bring such a
suit, and until it was decided Mr.. Sands
should be held in custody under the former
judgment.

The Ray State EIanaeans.

The convention of the Massachusetts,
Democrats may very appropriately be dubbed
the Convention Of the Flanagans. Had that
Lone Star statesman popped his celebrated
question inside the Worcester hall, the whole
convention would have shouted in unison,
For the Offices" and their constituents
outside would have echoed the refrain.
There was no hypocrisy about the body. 1t
knew what it wanted, and was not ashamed
TO say what 1t was. With the persistence
OF the small boy who wanted a goat
and shouted in his fond parents ear
II want goat" 81 want poatv 81
want goat" until he tired his father
out and compelled him to succumb. the Mas
sachusetts Democracy shouted in the ear Of
the President, I'VE want the Offices" eve
want the Offices" There were some ner-
functory remarks about the tariff, but thew
were made in wee small voice. The great
swelling cry that drowned out everything
else was for the offices. The report of the
smelling committee" had worked the dele
gates up to a perfect frenzy. and they were
little better than monOmaniacs on the sub
ject Of the spells. All their obligations to
the Mugwumps for their assistance In former
campaigns were forgotten, and the feathers
were plucked out of that proud bird until it
presented very forlorn and pitiful appear
ance. They stoned it numerically, and had
II stuck its head inside the convention no

tentlon among the delegates for the honor of
wringing It's neck. And all because it did
not stop carolling about civil service reform

nothing surprising about this performance,
albeit it is one of the most shameless party
convention has ever been guilty Of. But to
the Independents, who have been fiattering
themselves that their little leaven had leay
ened the whole lump, that the Democratic
party had been born again, and was hence
forth to be the party of reform, it must have
proved very rude awakening. What must
have been the feelings Of Col. Goldman, for
Instance. who year ago announced that he
had decided to make his home in the Demo-
cratic party, when he saw the whole conyen-
ton rise en- nasse and pitch him and his in
teresting Mugwump family out into the
street? Or of DIR. William Everett, when he
saw his eastern bird" denuded of its beau
tiful plumage, scudding under bare poles, as
1t were, to escape the fury of these reformed
Democrats? The occasion would seem to
furnish inspiration for another Mugwump
song, not of the proud, conceited, exuberant
character Of the existing one, but one quiet
and subdued, one written in elegiac verse

The labor vote is the most uncertain e,e-
ment in the coming New York election.
The magnitude Of it at the last mayoralty
elections in New York city forbids the con-
clusion that it will be insignificant, while
many changes that have taken place since
then, such as the accommodation of DR..
McGlynn, the casting out of the Socialists,
etc, seem to indicate that 1t may be consider
ably reduced. The New York Sun, which
was with the labor party Of New York in
1884 and undoubtedly has tender recollec-
tons of 1t yet, quotes politicians who esti-
mate the party's vote at the coming election
at from thirty to forty thousand in New
York and at from six to eight thousand in
Brooklyn Outside Of the two cities the
party is weak, though in Syracuse there is
Henry George club in nearly every ward,
while in Rochester the labor party is quite
strong. In Albany the labor party is not
strong, and in Buffalo there are many Ger
man Socialists whose revolt splits q party
that otherwise would not be strong. Alto
gether fifty thousand votes are as many as
George is expected to get by the political
seers whom the New York Sun has consulted.
AS tliC ouu Hoo al tiiiCS pdsl Dctu wont 10
consult divers prophets it is impossible to
tell whether these are the estimates of men
who think the George vote will not be over
fifty thousand because they hope it won't, or
Of men who are ambitious that the labor
party shall poll as many as fifty thousand
votes. In either case the estimate is three
times greater than the labor vote for Butler
In the Presidential election of 1884, and
twice as great as the vote for st. John, in

In the recent collapse of the schemes of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company the
fate of the system of telegraph which that
road maintained has been of the most public
interest. Mr.. Jay Gould has expected to
gain possession Of this portion of the prop
erty and thus destroy the competition of one
OF the most powerful rivals of the Western
Union. Maine, as far east as Portland, has
had for several years the advantage of both
systems, the Western Union and Baltimore
& Ohio. Into the northern and eastern
counties the Baltimore 81 Ohio has not
reached; but across northern Maine another
large company is expected to extend its
wires, the Canadian Pacific Telegraph Com
pany. The company is alreadr stretching
its wires along the Short Line railway, and
before snow falls they will be sending mes
sages from Montreal to Sherbrooke near
the Maine border. The Maritime Provinces
are expecting that connection will be made
with the Maritime Provinces in the course
of year or two. Probably such connection,
when made, will be across northern Maine
This telegraph company then would reach
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with branch
lines which already run down to New York,
to Minneapolis and st. Paul. and to San
Francisco and other coast cities. Right at
the doors OF the people of the eastern and
northern portions Of the State there is likely
TO be powerful competitor of the Western
Union.
